Murray River Free Camping at Big Bend. Fishing, Yabbying, Kayaking with Camp Cook Up.

This week we head to Big Bend on the Mighty Murray & don't miss my kayaking tip on how to do a barrel roll.

Great little spot Big Bend.Done a lot of camping around that area over the years.Nice to see that your feeding yourself well Mark.Look forward to your next camping trip.Perhaps in the future Mark when you get the time,you may like to do a trip to a coastal seaside camping spot where you might have a much better chance of catching a decent feed of fish or sqid instead of carp. Cheers

[@driftingingilliganexplorin4409]

Thanks mate, yes have a couple of coastal trips in the pipeline

[@diijoncapeluti1659]

just watch all the broken glass there and a lot of big gum trees a bit dangerous

[@helenverrall2892]

Hubby said you should have scored your chicken dinner higher, looked very good.

[@driftingingilliganexplorin4409]

Haha yeh maybe 😊

Dam just missed you.

[@jasonwalker1438]

Yeh bugger would of been good to say G'day in person.

[@scale2tail]

Fantastic. Love the roll. Have you tried the bbq chicken seasoning G-fresh. It goes with everything. Good on fish. 👌

[@driftingingilliganexplorin4409]

Not yet but will give it a go, thanks for watching

[@stevecoppin2890]

LIKE YOUR VIDEOS. GIVEN ME A FEW PLACES TO CAMP AT, HAVE YOU DONE A VIDEO ON CHOWILLA CAMP GROUND?

[@driftingingilliganexplorin4409]

No I haven't, I was heading that way a couple of years ago until a storm came through & then I hit a kangaroo.

[@adrianweir9247]

About time you gave fishing away and take up lawn bowls, but if you want to catch a heap of fish go and free camp at Glendinning on Rocklands Reservior. 😂

[@driftingingilliganexplorin4409]

Haha, I have already retired from lawn bowls.

[@craigkimber-z6r]

Love camping at Big bend Nildottie and Blanchetown, as I live in the Bridge, have to catch up for a frothy one day

[@Yepmetoo]

Well done with the weight loss, your meals looked sensational, especially the chicken and veg

[@driftingingilliganexplorin4409]

Thank you.

[@kinchegayowie6167]

try some wet grass in a wet hessian bag or cloth, they drown after awhile (shrimps)

[@driftingingilliganexplorin4409]

OK thanks.

[@Joshhatch83]

Well done on the diet Mark, bit more practice on the barrel roll and you will nail it 😂😂

[@driftingingilliganexplorin4409]

Haha I don't think so 😊

[@jasonbarnes5605]

Thank god for steak seasoning 😂

[@driftingingilliganexplorin4409]

Yes great stuff along with chicken salt 😊

[@darrylweidenhofer]

Mate you are looking well. Been on the same diet. Sugar is the problem. My great grandfather was one of the last pro fisherman from Swan Reach. He had a shed at Big Bend and his mate Bennie Songtang fished there as well.

[@driftingingilliganexplorin4409]

Thanks mate. They would have had some great stories. My mate at owned the last Tailem fishing Reach.

Thank you, much appreciated, do I know your brother ??

[@jacquelyndyte8922]

@@driftingingilliganexplorin4409 my sister in law knows of you, but I don't believe they actually know you. we've been watching you since you had Gilligan the boat. not into speedway so much but you make them fun to watch also, so we watch it all. Your weight loss has been amazing and you're looking great, be proud of yourself, that's a huge achievement. We're in Adelaide but next time we go through Tailem we'll see if you're at your favorite pub :)
